History

The Burundi flag was adopted on March 28, 1967, just a year after its independence from Belgium. It was designed by a local artist named Alphonse Kirimobenecyo, with the help of his colleagues.

The design was influenced by the flag of the ruling political party, Union for National Progress (UPRONA), which also featured the same colors but with different proportions. The party’s flag had red at the top, white in the middle, and green at the bottom.

The Burundi flag is a symbol of national unity, hope, peace, and freedom. Its simple design rich in symbolism tells the story of the country’s history, struggles, and aspirations.
